Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound bulk regular pork sausage (such as Jimmy DeanĀ®)
- 13 4-inch bamboo skewers
Instructions
1
Collect the necessary ingredients beforehand.
2
Melt butter over a moderate heat in a small saucepan. Stir in maple syrup, red pepper flakes, and salt. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Take the syrup off the heat and set it aside, stirring occasionally, for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to mature fully.
3
In the meantime, prepare the pancakes: whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk buttermilk, egg, sour cream, melted butter, and maple syrup together in a separate bowl. Pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture. Mix gently until just combined but slightly lumpy; avoid overmixing. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
4
Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over a moderate heat. Drop spoonfuls of batter onto the hot skillet to form 1-inch diameter pancakes. Cook for about 1 to 2 minutes, flip, and continue cooking until golden brown, about 1 more minute. Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
5
Heat olive oil in the same skillet over a moderate heat. Form tablespoonfuls of sausage into 1-inch patties, the same size as the mini pancakes. Cook until the patties are cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
6
Thread 3 pancakes and 2 sausage patties onto each skewer, starting and ending with a pancake.
7
Repeat the process to make remaining skewers. Serve drizzled with spicy syrup.
